College women are at risk for eating disorders, which have profound health impacts.
Cross-sectional studies have shown that the use of dietary self-monitoring is associated with
eating disorder risk among college students. However, causality cannot be established with
cross-sectional studies.
This study utilizes a randomized controlled trial design to examine how the use of a popular
dietary self-monitoring smartphone application impacts college females' well-being, including
eating disorder risk. We hypothesize those who are randomized to dietary self-monitoring will
have a greater increase in eating disorder risk compared to the control group.

Three positive questions are reverse coded and scores are added together with higher scores indicating higher state anxiety. | 30 days | |
Secondary | Depression Symptoms | Measured via survey using the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale Revised (CESD-R-10). The CESD-R-10 is a 10 item scale with each question having the possibility of a score 0-3. Two questions are reverse coded, then scores from each question are added to give an overall score.
